We have a report for a technical specification, which holds various information in our system, i.e Description, Size, Material, etc.

We have a link to a folder which holds a PDF image of the artwork that is printed onto the packaging.

I want the user to put in the code of an item, see all the technical specification, then at the bottom, see the PDF that is linked.

Then we need to an option to print it out, so a PDF of the data and pdf on a page.

Is this possible.

you would have to convert the pdf files to image type file(.jpg or some other)
then go to insert tab and do insert image.
insert any image then right click on it >> format graphics>> picture tab
click the x-2 bottom next to graphics location:
write a formula like
if item_type ="a" then "image path" else
if item_type ="b then "another image path"...

simple image path "C:\Pictures\somepicture.jpg"
